Prevalence of Panton-valentine gene in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from clinical samples and healthy carriers in Gorgan city, north of Iran [PDF]
Aim. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a nosocomial and community acquired pathogen. S. aureus is a pathogen that causes several types of disease from skin infections to systemic diseases that is because of having several virulence factors such as ...

Plasmodium yoelii infection of BALB/c mice results in expansion rather than induction of CD4+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells [PDF]
Recently, we demonstrated elevated numbers of CD4(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells in Plasmodium yoelii‐infected mice contributing to the regulation of anti‐malarial immune response. However, it remains unclear whether this increase in Treg cells is

Sycosis Barbae Treated With Bimekizumab
ABSTRACT Sycosis barbae (SB) is a chronic, potentially scarring alopecia that primarily affects the beard. We report a unique case of refractory SB in a 31‐year‐old male successfully treated with bimekizumab, a dual inhibitor of interleukin (IL)‐17A and IL‐17F.

Model for the Interaction of T-cell Receptors with Peptide/MHC Complexes [PDF]
The immune response against a viral infection is mediated by two different types of cells known as B and T lymphocytes. The receptor on the B cell is the well-characterized antibody molecule, which exists in a membrane-bound form and in a secreted form ...

Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]
The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.
